Irses Cor pine snedies.

Another use for pine needles beside that
of spreading an aromatic odor through the
fancy covering of a pine pillow has been
developed by new southern industry.
One product of the pine needle is re-
markedly strong oil that possesses many
medicinal virtues. Another is pine wool,
which is bleached, dyed and woven. The
wool is fieecy brown mass, possessing a
pleasant odor, which gives it value as a
moth destroyer when used as carpet lin
ing. A strong, cheap mating is made
from the wool, useful for halls, stairways

Running Out Of Wheat.

Mr.. Bell informs ne that the wheat supply is get
ting short, the Sunset Roller Mills having nearly
exhaustedsthe supply on hand. Wheat is hard to
get, he says, and many mills in Kansas running
out of supply. Reports Of the future crop may
be interesting. In Ford county the wheat is con-
eiderably damaged come fields are said to be en-
tirely destroyed, but the warm rays of epring may
change the crop aspect. The Farmers Review OF
Chicago, says:
''The reports from the principal winter wheat
growing states continue to be generally favorable,
with the exception Of those from Illinois and Kan
sas
lin Illinois some Of the southern counties re-
port the fields bare and the plant looking poor

tics. In Edgar and Iroquois connties the fields
twenty-threc other Illinois counties the reports
this week show that the grain il Oking weli.''
'.ln Allen, Brown Franklin, Lincoln, Sedgwick
and Shawnee counties, Kansas, the fields are bare
and the plant has suffered injury, and looks badly
In ChautauQua, Cloud, NeOsLO, Branch, Grand,
Traverse, Lcnawake and Livingston counties the
wheat lie looking well.
''The reports from Missouri, covering thirteen
Counties are uniformly favorable. OF the sixteen
Ohio counties making reports this week three re-
port wheat as looking poorly, namely. Athens No
BILE and Trnmball counties. The remaining coun-
ties report the outlook fair to good Nearly all
also true of Fulton and others of the northern
counties bordering on the lakes. In Fulton and
Ohio counties Of Indiana the fields are bare of
snow and the plant has suffered from freezing.
The Wisconsin fields are generally well protected
with snow, and no injury is reported.

Importance Of Missionaries.

Many persons when asked for money to estab-
ish and support missions think only Of the foreign
mission work. and forget that much Of the mil
lion" for missions will be expended in domestic
work.
OF the 1924 missionaries employed by the
Methodist church. only 116 are engaged in foreign
fields. The missionary appropriation to the South
west Kansas Conference for 1886 was $4,000. OF
this amount Garden City District received
Sc, O6O. This Conference last year received for
missions $3,s46, Of which amount the territory
now comprising Garden City district contributed
S147. AM one can see from these figures that the
church is not disregarding home mission work.
One thing of which the people are eadly in need,
Is missionary information. To more fully meet
this demand DR.. McCabe has appointed mission
airy secretary for each district whose work is to
furnish this knowledge to the people by means of
the secular press. Methodists are as loyal to-day
as they ever were, and the call of the church for
"milliOn for missions BY collections only in 1857
means, that as surely as the preachers and dis,
trict secretaries do their duty the full amount will
be raised. As take up the work Of secretary OF
Garden City District gain deeper insight into
the needs Of the missionary cause and the meth
DDS employed by the church for raising funds;
and notwithstanding the fact, that the people are
new homes, believe that II the preachers will
stand by their colors, every cent asked for and
more will be- raised. / have faith in God and
Methodism, and believe that Chaplain MeCabe
think OF this district for the coming year in
advance of the million line.
Although this is the first year for Lakin Circuit,
(the one which serve) and the people are fnan-
cially depressed, they have cheerfully brought mp
oil the beuevolences in full, and passed far beyond
the m lion line Of missions. l believe it lies
within the power Of the pastor OF Garden City Dis
trict to keep the city abreast Of all the demands Of

Wish he Had q Barrel of It.

". ". Apperson, Of the southeast part Of the
county, was in the city Thursday last, and stated
that Dodge City would have two additional rail.
roads this year. and in two years Dodge would
have six or more railroads that the city would be
one Of the grandest Of the state. Mr.. Apperson
has stated proposition other keen sighted men
have observed. and perhaps his statement is no
more worthy than that of other gentlemen, but it is
not everybody in Dodge City that has an opinion
comprehensive as that Of Mr.. Apperson, but Mr..
Apperpon says our Dodge people don't know what
they have got. He says If he had barrel of
money he would invest it in Dodge City property.
Mr.. Apperson lives in that part Of the county in
which the railroad grading is now being done, and
he has some knowledge Of the railroad prospects,.
We exceedingly regret however, that Mr.. Apper-
con hssn't the barrel Of money-we hope he will
one.

Dodge City's Prominence.

A prominent railroad gentleman in St. Louis
writes to a citizen Of Dodge City that 'in St. Louis
Dodge City has bigger boom than any other city
IL the west" This gentleman writes that the
Union Pacific, Missouri Pacific and Rock Island
will build railroads to Dodge City the coming sea-
son. There is considerable strife among railroads,
and Dodge City is an objective point. We are not
at liberty to use names in this connection, but We
are acquainted with the parties and we can vouch
for the truhfulncss OF the statement Our citizens
will agree with that Dodge City ie on the eve of
a boom. When tho "dirt begins to fly" then will
be strife and speculation never before equaled in
the west.

The young man who is going to be
the successful business or professional
man of the future does not spend his
week day nights in dissolute company,
or his Sundays in "elub rooms" gam
bling and worse, nor is he a bar room
lounger or a guzzler of beer. There
are scores of young fellows, npon whom
advice is wasted, who think it a smart
and manly thing to SOW wild oats, and
who are hard at it, believing that no.
body knows how they spend their eve
nings, aud expecting to take a turn for
the better after while. They are de-
ceived. Their present habits are known
to more than they imagine, and nine
out of ten of them are likely to 60 from
bad to worse until, health ruined, they
rush into the ranks of the criminal or
